Sydney man Renas Lelikan charged over alleged links to listed terrorist organisation PKK

The Government has decided to charge Renas Lelikan the Australian Journalist under terrorism offenses for association with the PKK. The timing is dubious given that it comes during a severe crackdown of all opposition groups is underway in Turkey following the failed military coup against Erdogan this week. How this plays out in court and what the potential implications are for the Australian YPG volunteers remains unclear. Take action, write to your local federal member to express dismay at this development.
